Walk Scilly Weekend 12th - 16th October

TICKETS NOW ON SALE

Autumn on Scilly: for many, the best time of year to visit. The islands are quieter and as the nights draw in, we’re treated to incredible Scilly sunsets, irresistible island hues, fields of emerging scented narcissi, hedgerows bursting with life and a wealth of birds and wildlife. Days are often still warm and sunny in October, others can be windswept, but whatever the mood on Scilly, around every corner there’s yet another feast for your eyes to enjoy.

So what better way to capture the true essence of Scilly than indulging in a weekend of walking the islands with knowledgeable guides showing the way?

Our Walk Scilly Weekend has much to offer. The wildlife is simply spectacular with glorious resident and migrating birds to admire, with seal pups to spot, and Scilly bees and bats to seek out. The hedgerows and rock pools are fantastic for foraging walks. Many of our walks will let you explore intimately this special side to Scilly. Alongside, we have some favourites too – a chance to explore Teän, farm walks, a walk around The Garrison, a Tresco stroll, and a special Dark Skies walk on St. Martin’s.

We’re fortunate to have the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust partner with us for the Walk Scilly Weekend. This local charity manages more than 60% of the islands’ landscape including many of its footpaths and once again, the funds from the walks they host during the weekend will be ploughed straight back into the valuable work they do.

So come and see Scilly at its best. Browse the listings below and book your walks today.
